I Want A Lifetime With You

Just as Shi Nuan reached the door, it slid open. It was Su Shaoqing. He glanced at the two ladies in the room before his eyes settled on Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan was not expecting Su Shaoqing to turn up. She then recalled that Fu Chengyan had assured her that it was safe to come to this meeting, so she assumed that he had informed Su Shaoqing beforehand.

With one hand in his pocket, Su Shaoqing broke into a subtle smile. “Where are you going Ms. Shi?” asked Su Shaoqing.

“Is that Mr. Su?” said Jiang Yu as she hurried to the door to welcome her guest. “Shi Nuan thought it would nice to welcome you at the door,” she explained.

“Is that so?” said Su Shaoqing as he looked at Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan pursed her lips and remained silent. Worried that Shi Nuan might seem rude, Jiang Yu discreetly squeezed her arm and whispered, “Go on and greet him, do not mess this up.”

“Please come in Mr. Su, do not stand on ceremony! Shi Nuan has come all this way just to meet you!” Jiang Yu said as she reached out to give Su Shaoqing a tug while prompting him to have a seat. Su Shaoqing dodged her outstretched hand and gestured at Shi Nuan, “Ladies first.”

Shi Nuan smiled courteously. “After you, Mr. Su.”

Seeing that Shi Nuan was being cooperative, Jiang Yu heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Yu turned away from Su Shaoqing and glared at Shi Nuan, wordlessly telling her to behave herself before turning back to offer him some tea.

Su Shaoqing declined Jiang Yu’s offer, so she swiftly passed the teacups to Shi Nuan and ordered her to prepare the tea instead. “I remember that you have lots to tell Mr. Su,” Jiang Yu prompted.

Shi Nuan ignored her pressurizing mother and made tea for Su Shaoqing. “Please have some tea, Mr. Su”

“Thank you,” Su Shaoqing replied with a wink. Shi Nuan shot him a warning look, afraid that Jiang Yu would catch on. They must not let Jiang Yu find out anything.

All Jiang Yu could think of was to matchmake Su Shaoqing and Shi Nuan, with the hopes a marriage in the near future. Once the two get married, the Shi family would finally have a relationship bonded by marriage with the Su family.

“Why are you being so quiet, Shi Nuan? You were talking about him nonstop!” exclaimed Jiang Yu. “Please do not mind my daughter, Mr. Su, she is a little more shy in person. Believe me, she has been asking so much about you in private.”

“Is that so?” asked Su Shaoqing septically, intrigued by the pair of mother and daughter. Though, he was more impressed by Jiang Yu’s ability to lie through her teeth so naturally.
